According to market news, the Hokuriku region of Japan, which suffered a severe earthquake, is home to the Ishikawa plant of LCD panel maker Japan Display (JDI), and Toshiba's semiconductor manufacturing base is also here. KOKUSAI ELECTRIC Semiconductor Manufacturing Facility and Sanken Electric's largest power semiconductor manufacturing facility in Japan are also located here. Therefore, the damage caused by strong earthquakes is worrisome. In response, JDI said that neither Ishikawa nor Tottori plants were operating, so they were not affected. Toshiba, for its part, said it was confirming the situation.

In addition, almost all electronic devices use multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC), Murata Manufacturing Co., which has a global market share of about 40%, also has a manufacturing plant in Fukui Prefecture, and also has other electronic parts production bases in Ishikawa and Toyama Prefecture, which is expected to have a large impact. In response, Murata said that the factory was closed for the New Year holiday, so it was not operating. The company is in the process of confirming the damage to the facility while ensuring the safety of its employees.

Panasonic Holdings, which has motor production facilities in Ishikawa Prefecture, said an hour and a half after the quake that it had confirmed the safety of its employees in Ishikawa, Fukui, Toyama and Niigata prefections. In terms of damage to equipment, it is stated that there have been no reports of damage to the base so far. KOKUSAI ELECTRIC also said it was conducting an internal confirmation and hadn't yet received information from the scene.
